Plot: It's not unusual in the movies for a woman to be torn between two brothers, but she usually doesn't change her mind on her wedding day. Then again, hardly anything goes the way one might expect in this black comedy. Freddie (Cameron Diaz), a pretty but hard-as-nails stripper, dreams of some day dancing in a Las Vegas revue, but for the meantime she works at a seedy dive in Minnesota. Freddie is forced by the owner of the club, Red (Delroy Lindo), to marry his accountant, the less-than-charming Sam Clayton (Vincent D'Onofrio), as punishment for supposedly stealing from the strip joint's till (as a further indignity, Red has also had the word slut tattooed on her arm). Sam has a rocky relationship with his brother Jjaks (Keanu Reeves) -- his curious name is the result of a typing error on his birth certificate -- but Jjaks receives an invitation to the nuptials from their mother Nora (Tuesday Weld), and he arrives at the wedding reception only a few hours after he's released from prison. When Freddie and Jjacks meet for the first time, there's an immediate chemistry between them, so immediate that before the evening is out, the new in-laws are making love in a bathroom and Freddie has persuaded Jjacks to run away with her; Freddie has also grabbed Sam's bankroll to finance the unscheduled vacation. Sam, understandably enraged, vows to track them down and enlists the help of Ben Costikyan (Dan Aykroyd), a sleazy career criminal. Feeling Minnesota was the debut feature for writer and director Steven Baigelman. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Feeling ill after wasting time with this movie
Added 11/10/2008

Because my wife & I grew up in Minnesota and we have enjoyed some of actors we thought this could be interesting. WRONG! It is dull, vain, profane, worthless way to spend 99 minutes. After the 1st 5 minutes we considered turning it off, but continued to look for some comdedy or something that might bring back fond or funny memories of life in Minnestoa. That was our second mistake, right behind renting this in the 1st place! While some of the acting was OK, it lacked plot & seemed like an excuse for good actors to use bad language and act stupid. There is nothing here that remotely resembles life in MN other than some of the scenery. In some ways it reminded me of a really bad Tom & Jerry cartoon with the characters bashing each other for no reason and with no effects. Actally saying that is probably unfair to T & J cartoons as they have more plot & humor. After it was over, I felt nausated that we had wasted almost 2 hours of time on this trash. Our advice - don't make the same mistake watching this polluted video mess!

Not perfect, but still entertaining

I'm not a K. Reeves fan so I was hesitant about seeing the dvd. However I like the other actors and took a chance. I like the interaction between Reeves and Diaz and D'Onofrio. They were able to elevate his performance and make an enjoyable small movie. Sam (D'Onofrio) works as a mob accountant and Freddie(Diaz) who owes them moeny is forced to marry him. On her wedding day she meets Sam's brother jjaks (Reeves) and hooks up with him. There are several twist and turns, but it more a study of some losers and how they ry to work themselves out of dilemmas. Sam is goofy, but he is also unpredictible and violent. jjaks tries to save freddie but he also has some loyalty to his brother. A think plot but at least the characters are original.
